NOVEDADES

Henry Bourne’s photographs of the residences and workspaces of a who’s who of creative people open windows onto the groundbreaking design approaches and trends of the last three decades. For nearly thirty years, Bourne has been photographing the residences and studios of, or those designed by, some of the world’s most important artists, architects, designers, and innovators. Culture and society are constantly evolving, and changes, both aesthetic and sociological, are reflected in our physical surroundings. Spaces and portraits in this volume range from the Upstate New York studio of artist Richard Prince, Vincent Van Duysen’s early apartment in Antwerp, and Marc Newson’s residences (his modern former bachelor pad as well as the more textured apartment he shares with Charlotte Stockdale today) to the joyfully chaotic London atelier of artist Paula Rego, the Villa Volpi by architect Tomaso Buzzi near Rome, the London studio of artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster—before and after its sleek renovation, designed by architect David Adjaye.

Over the past three decades, Vincent Van Duysen has become an important force in design through his expressive architecture and serene interiors. This book documents the source of his inspirations and ongoing laboratory: his own homes. Vincent Van Duysen has had an outsized influence on the world of architecture and design, from the rarefied echelons of interiors to highly successful collections for Zara Home and a nearly decade-long creative directorship of Molteni&C. Through his spare use of pure and tactile materials, Van Duysen employs a unique stylistic language that is both monastic and sensual, brutal and elegant, primal and refined. His commissions have included product design for numerous international brands, and commercial and large-scale architectural projects, among them high-end residences, a hotel, and retail spaces.

Participants include Hilton Als, Naomi Campbell, Elton John, Spike Lee, Sally Mann, Polly Mellen, Kate Moss, Chloë Sevigny, Taryn Simon, Christy Turlington, and Jonas Wood.

El siglo XVI es una época en movimiento incesante, un mundo en transición del que Rabelais (1494-1553) no será testigo mudo ni pasivo. Todo lo contrario: es preciso inscribir su obra –gigantesca– como una de las más importantes y ambiciosas en esa trama de iniciativas dispares en las que la política, la religión, la ciencia, el arte, la técnica, el derecho, la literatura... se dan la mano. Obra singular por sus múltiples registros, obra única por sus incontables niveles: todos los ámbitos de lo real y de lo imaginario, todos los peldaños de la escala que va de lo más bajo a lo más sublime, tienen su lugar en esa obra voraz de uno de los más grandes escritores de la literatura universal. Nunca en el pasado, nunca en su futuro, una obra tuvo tal capacidad de ingestión y digestión de materiales tan diversos. Metabolismo desmesurado, excesivo –aunque también educado y exquisito– como el de los gigantes que la habitan.

Emblematic of Italian excellence since its founding in 1889, Bonacina is a family-owned design brand that has defined a unique and timeless style, embodying an artistic sensibility, attention to detail, and the superior workmanship of rattan—a natural raw material that grows in the Far East. The story begins in remote lands where the natural material grows before traveling to Italy and then, in the hands of some of the best interior designers, to stylish residences, gardens, hotels, and restaurants around the world.
